Meet Leatherface’s Cousin in ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’
Leatherface has found his latest target, as Percy Jackson & the Olympians star Alexandra Daddario is in final negotiations to play the female lead in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, says Variety.
As Bloody Disgusting exclusively reported, she will play “Heather”, who along with her friends, travel to Texas in order to collect an inheritance. The spin? What would you do if you found out your cousin was Leatherface, and he was now YOURS? In addition, she will be signed for multiple sequels as Lionsgate hopes to launch a new franchise. She joins previously announced Bill Moseley.
John Luessenhop (Takers) is directing the pic that picks up after Tobe Hooper’s original 1974 horror classic.

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
